Primaluna?


I’m thinking about giving a full tube setup a go and Primaluna in particular.  Looking to hear people’s experiences with Primaluna in general. My main draw to them outside of tubes is there auto bias and protective features.  Wondering if people generally replace a single bad tube or if people are replacing all tubes of that type when there’s a failure.  Also would be interested if there were any other companies with at least a similar protective feature. The auto bias sounds great but the protective features are a bigger deal to me.

My friend,

Before I purchased my Primaluna power amp I called Upscale Audio and spoke with Kevin directly. I did all the research I could, but was still on the fence regarding tubes. Some of the questions I had were will it give me enough power to enjoy my music at any level? Would it be simple to play and maintain? Would I out grow it in a year or so? Kevin answered all my questions and made me a promise that in five years after owning the product I will be blown away by its effectiveness and he was absolutely right. Now, I must admit, I want to replace the one I currently have simply because I can only imagine how good the model above mine must sound. However, there are two things stopping me from doing so. The first is that I am truly enjoying the sound quality, and the second is I do not want to take the time to break in a new one. My system seems to be just perfect. I know that’s a strange thing to say for most audiophiles, but it’s the truth. One change in any piece of my equipment frightens me.

Respectfully,

East
